Lost Work Hours

1998 Government Health and Safety Department official statistics list "MSD" (musculo-skelto-disorder) at over 60% of all lost work hours and the biggest growth category by far. The Carlton Clinic's musculo-skeletal medicine practitioners deal successfully with these problems constantly and will cut and prevent lost work hours.

Through the 1980's Government driven initiatives based on re-education, re-equipping, ergonomics, workplace assessment (but not treatment) across a number of western countries to try to reduce this growing national cost produced no effect at all. That is until early diagnosis and treatment was introduced by the New Zealand government produced sharp reduction in MSD time off work, (details available from H&S HM Government Dept) The second biggest lost work time category is labelled "stress". Provision of manipulative treatment, Osteopathy, Massage, Acupuncture and stress counselling all have proven effectiveness for this, will reduce this problem greatly and further reduce lost work time.

The Carlton clinic has provided treatment, services for both national and local companies, successfully reducing time off work whilst also improving company moral. Contact us if you are interested in arranging such a service, which can be adapted for the size and type of your business.
